All the animals that I can think of bite--except for goldfish. Russian Dwarf hammies DO bite, but it's in their natural instinct. You can tame this out of them, though. It will take a lot of time and patience. I am saying this as an experienced dwarf owner. Play with the hammiw everyday, DO NOT wake it up while its sleeping, and feed it food and treats by hand.
yes, Russian dwarf do bite, i had the same question and had my hamster answer it. Dwarf Hamsters are more 'Nippy' and more territorial of their cages than Syrian, if you scare you hamster or take it away from its food bowl it may bite if you want to try this it might help: put a towel on your hands then place the hamster on you hands with the towel on it, make it trust you again by , talking nicely to it and it should start to trust you after a while....... hope this works for everybody!!!! no fancy Russian dwarf hamsters do not bite but most other breeds of hamsters do
Females tend to be more territorial and aggressive than males, and thus may fight more, but they rarely even hurt each other.
Yes. All types of hamsters can live in groups or in pairs except Syrians.
Yes .so the blood is nasty separate them please!
There are two kinds of Russian Hamsters: Winter White and Campbells. They may be able to breed with each other.
A few years back I owned three Chinese Dwarf Hamsters, but there are different types of dwarf hamsters, e.g Russian Dwarf Hamsters. However, if you are thinking of getting dwarf hamsters, I don't recommend putting them in the same cage, as when I had my three, one of them ended up seriously injuring the other one.
Only if it is a dwarf with a dwarf
If the male is with the female when she is in heat, they will mate. It's pretty much a given. They should be separated, inbreeding leads to weak litters.
Syrian hamsters are the largest by far. Chinese hamsters have a proportionally longer tail than any other hamster species. Campbell's Russian Dwarf hamsters, and Winter White hamsters are easily distinguished from the other breeds, but harder to distinguish between the two. Winter Whites turn white in winter as they shed their darker fur, and the paler fur grows thicker. However the two species can interbreed, and your dwarf hamster may be a hybrid. Roborovski's Dwarf Hamsters are significantly smaller than other dwarf hamsters.
Chinese hamsters have tails and dwarf hamsters don't and Chinese hamsters can live together.
Compatible with humans.. or compatible with other dwarf hamsters? I've had two dwarf hamsters and they were great pets. A litte more work then syrians but they were great pets. I had two from the same litter, then soon found out I had to put them in separate cages because they fought a lot.. so no, I don't think Russian (especially) dwarf hamsters are compatible - even if they came from the same litter. They also may be fine in the beginning but sooner or later one becomes the 'runt' and the fighting begins.
no 2 male hamsters will fight, I have a Male Hamster and so does my Brother, we put them next to each other and my Hamster jumped on top of his. if you out 2 male or female hamsters together, they will surely fight
You shouldn't keep a dwarf in a cage.
Russian dwarfs and other small hamsters love company but syrians will fight other hamsters including their own young until the death
There are dwarf hamsters their are Chinese dwarf hamster ( this hamster isn't classified as a dwarf they are just small hamsters) The winter white hamster Campbell dwarf hamster Roborovski dwarf hamster And they are different names and they all have different colors but syrian hamsters have more colors than dwarf hamsters
No, or yes if you want two mamas if they are dwarf hamsters. If Syrians then no, because they will fight and may even kill each other.
